Introduction to modding: Difference between revisions

OBD refers to Oni Binay Data. Script commands are useless when their addressed resources don't exist. A BSL command might say "ai2_movetoflag characterA 7" (characterA moves to point 7) but the actual movement animation and flag comes from the binaries, in this case called TRAM and FLAG. [[OBD:File_types|Every resource]] has a four-letter-acronym. (Make sure to check out the talk pages, they might contain additional information such as XML documentations.) For example, TRAM stands for Totoro Animation. Nowadays, TRAM can be converted to XML almost bug-free. XML files can be read and rewritten more easily by hand but still lacks user-friendliness when it comes to a few special file types.
